other states were impacted as well. romney took white males and independents by significant margins. but when you bunch it all up together, when you bunch it up, it was an entitlement vote this year. american families earning less than $30,000 a year broke big for the president. 62% to 35%. so it's clear that left wing ideology did not win the day for barack obama, big spending on federal programs did. that's the key. because many in the media would have us believe that liberal ideology was confirmed by this election. it was not. however, however, secularism is certainly eroding traditional power. no question about it. once a week voted for romney 59, 39, the problem is church going is on the decline in this country. here is is an example. despite the president's incense tense that provide birth control and after pills. catholics supported obama 50% to 48%. down some. illinois now only 38% attend weekly mass. can you see the impact of creeping secularism on the religious vote. on paper, the stats look hopeless for tradi

it's unfortunate that susan rice, who is a qualified secretary of state candidate would be held out, to be pilloried in this way. it's worth noting the republicans probably don't have enough votes to get in the way of a nomination and it's also interesting that obama, he really is happy that this election is over because i've never seen him quite so forceful or genuinely outraged in quite some time. >> have we ever -- has any senator ever used a standard like this on a possible secretary of state nomination before, that that nominee may have at some point said something on tv that they disagree with and cannot prove one way or the other? >> yeah. she might have had a bad day but this does not disqualify her from being secretary of state. and there are intelligence failures after intelligence failures after intelligence failures when condoleezza rice was up for similar positions. to answer your question, no, not that i'm aware of has any nominatino nomination actually been blocked. >> my theory of the case is they really want scott brown back in the senate. what they're trying to do i
